One of the most exciting experiences I ever lived. The views are outstanding and we visited some breathtaking points. Pipa and Agustina are amazing. Hospitality and proficiency define them. We spent a great time in a fairy tale landscape.

Used to being guided in Chamonix, France, I have always had high expectations regarding what level of service one receives from a profesional mountain guide in terms of technicality, physical engagement and -- above all -- safety. I have organized 4 climbs in the Fitz Roy range with Patagonia Ascent (Monjon Rojo, Cerro Creston, Cerro Electrico y Sain Exupéry). All were summitted safely and I have always been satisfied far beyond expectations! Preparation is always super profesional, with thourough equipment checks , physical status Q&A and (obviously in Patagonia) weather forecast updates. Objectives are defined accordingly. Ascents are made in a super friendly atmosphere with constant care and checks of the client status and behaviour, with high priority on safety. I have realized ascents in the Fitz Roy range far beyond what I believed I could do, thanks to Patagonia Ascents' advice, skills and knowledge of the massif (they live 100% of the time in El Chalten!). I definitely recommend being buided by them! They are super professional and friendly!
Great experience climbing with Patagonia Ascent! Roberto is a kind and qualified guide - I felt super safe and encouraged. He provided a harness, helmet, and shoes. We started in town for a warm up and then did my first ever multi pitch climb above the beautiful town of El Chalten with the mountains in the distance. I liked it so much I returned for a second time, and Roberto took me another, more challenging multi pitch.
Patagonia Ascent was an unbelievable guide company. I was traveling with a loose itinerary, and they were able to accommodate my changing schedule. I had hired them for a technical ascent (my first ever) and I felt incredibly comfortable and confident through the entire process. Leading up to the ascent, Indio (highly recommend as a guide) took me multi-pitch climbing and was able to assess my technical and physical abilities to determine the best route for our ascent. On the day of, Indio continued to assess my abilities and challenge me - we were able to mix in a 100 meter ice climb through one section instead of hiking along the ridge of the mountain. Overall, couldn’t be happier and hope to return in ski season one day!
4 days track of Huemul circuit, Planning went very smoothly with clear communication around the outline, equipment and expectation setting. Our trip guide -- Marcos -- was great in the field pacing us to keep on track, stopping for breaks as needed and explaining as well as answering all questions. Logistics of camp set ups, food also was very smooth and provided all that is needed in typical backpack setting.
Excellent single and multi-pitch selection for intermediate climbers. In the Summer, it is still cool, so need to climb with a windbreaker. Guide was attentive and concerned for my safety. I could have climbed harder routes but still had an enjoyable experience!
Excellent half day of climbing! Had a great (and safe) time and was rewarded with some epic views of El Chalten! I would highly recommend Patagonia Ascent for any rock climber trying to get out on the wall!
My partner and I have been climbing just a couple times but thought El Chalten would be a great place to go again. We contacted Patagonia Ascent via WhatsApp and got a response and set up the trip within no time at all. Our guide, Tomy, picked us up in the morning and took us to several different spots throughout the the day. He provided all the equipment we needed and even helped us achieve our very first multi-pitch - a 450’ ascent, which was huge for us! We felt very safe. It was incredibly clear that Tomy was an expert and that nothing bad would happen. He also spoke such good English we thought he was American at first. All around, this climbing trip was the best thing we did in El Chalten, and wether you’re an expert climber or newbies like us, this company is great to work with.
